"It will be seen probably in three days by more people than all 15 movies I've worked on combined," he said.

The 40-year-old producer just finished a week-long world tour for his newest film, "Triple Frontier," starring Ben Affleck, Oscar Issac, Charlie Hunnam and Garrett Hedlund. It's an action film that he believes may be "smarter than it has to be for its genre."

“The movie always had the bones of a new approach – sort of a twist – to the heist genre," he said.

The film, which debuts on Netflix on Wednesday, March 13, takes a cynical and critical look at special forces units. The plot focuses on a crew of former military personnel who decide to rob a powerful drug lord inside the Triple Frontier (a hostile region on the borders of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil historically known for criminal activity and drug cartels), rather than taking his operation down legally.

For Dodson, the allure of this film, and the attachment to the script he and director J.C. Chandor shared, was exploring the mental strain soldiers and special forces operatives may have due to their skillsets after decades of active duty. The idea was to hone in on the concept that these men are the best in the world at what they do but are unable to reap monetary awards as a result of the nature of their profession.

"It is an action movie with a lot on its mind," Dodson said. "The guys in the movie justify to themselves what they're doing is right ... they don't just mow down a bunch of faceless villains and there is no cost to that."

As a producer, Dodson works as an adhesive between the creative talent and the business side of movie making.

“[I] stand at the nexus between the creative side of things and the logistics and financial side of things. I make sure they both have everything they need to do their jobs," he said.

For him, working on "Triple Frontier" has been an experience from the beginning.

The script bounced around Hollywood studios for nearly a decade. With a rotating roster of big-name actors' names attached to the project from Tom Hanks and Tom Hardy to Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg, the film had been making its rounds with no permanent stakeholders.

Then came three more years of script work with Chandor and more studio shuffling until Netflix came along and picked up the film.

Next came the physical toll during the 75 days of filming. Trudging through knee-high mud in Hawaii, hiking up a 12,000-foot summit in the Sierra Mountains and battling the heat in Botogá, Colombia, only to grind through another 28 weeks of post-production in New York City.

"Working on a movie this scale, we've learned a ton," Dodson said.

And now comes the eager anticipation to see his latest project hit the screens of 130 million households worldwide.

"We don't have the pressure of an opening weekend," he said.

Dodson has produced over a dozen films, including 2011's Academy Award-nominated "Margin Call." He resides in New York City and co-owns CounterNarrative Filmswith J.C. Chandor and Anna Gerb.
